GOVERNOR STONE IS SUSTAINED. Complete Vindication by the Courts of His Vetoes of Con stitutional Amendments. 10 HE MIL An Heroic Executive Upheld Despite a Campaign cf Personal Abuse Backed by Tammany Promoters of an Expensive Voting Machine. (Spcclul Correspondence.) Harrisbiirg, Aug. 8. Governor Stone has lieen sustained by the Dauphin county court in his vetoes of the pro posed amendments to the constitution passed by the last legislature. This gratifying outcome of a long and bit ter controversy should be bailed with expressions of delight by the taxpayers of l'ennsylvania. The heroic action of the governor has saved the com monwealth hundreds of thousands of dollars. The resolutions providing for the submission of two amendments to the constitution were rushed through both branches of the legisla ture w ith scarcely and discussion. Pub lic attention was not attracted to them to any extent. The people had little opportunity to fully appreciate their far reaching effects. Vhon Governor Stone, in his careful review of the work of the late turbulent session of the loplKli-.tnre, calmly considered the purport and sweeping character of these resolutions he promptly vetoed them. One provided for personal reg istration of voters, and the other was disguised to allow the Introduction of voting machines In place of the pres ent system of balloting. There was no popular demand for cither of these innovations. The first resolution ema nated from a few of the professional reform agitators in Philadelphia who are constantly taking up some new fad so that they may appear In the newspapers as leaders of advanced Ideas in state and municipal govern ment. They are mostly lawyers with limited practice and merchants who, by figuring In these movements, obtain cheap notoriety, which counts as so much free advertising. A MACHINE SNAKE. The proposition for the Introduction of the voting machines came from a syndicate of Tammany politicians who control the patents for the machines, which they had introduced in New York. They got the resolution for the proposed amendment to otir constitu tion pawed simply as a business ven ture. They had a professional lobby ist here during the session of the leg islature, who engineered the scheme to put the resolution through. This Tammany politician was indignant when he learned of the action of Gov ernor Stone in blocking his game. He swore he would win out, despite the nction of the executive. He at once Inaugurated a movement to discredit the governor and to manufacture senti ment In favor of the proposed amend ment. The scheme was cleverly work ed up. The voting machine project was kept in the background. Soon, however, the professional reformers of Philadelphia got to work, with the aid of the insurgent and Democratic news papers, which are always ready to as sail Pennsylvania's stalwart Republi can governor. They made it appear that a great wrong had been done; that the cause of reform had been made to suffer. They seemed to be Interested only In the matter of per sonal registration of voters. But the real "nigger in the woodpile," the vot ing machine, which was to he benefit ted l y any success that might come through their agitation, was never menUcned in these newspapers. Sec retary of the Commonwealth Griest de clined their request to advertise the proposed amendments regardless of the vetoes of the governor. ELK IN' WAS MAGNANIMOUS. Next they appealed to Attorney Gen eral Elkin to allow the use of the name of the commonwealth in mandamus proceedings in the Dauphin county court to compel the secretary of the commonwealth to advertise as they de manded. The orcans of the insur gents, that had been misrepresenting Governor Stone and his cabinet from the outset, at once began to predict that Attorney General Cikin would de ny this requesl. They were greatly disappointed, however, when Mr. El kin, in a lengthy and able opinion, ac ceded to their wishes, but at the samo lime, in n careful and masterly re view of tho case and the precedents, pointed out that Governor Stone was entirely Justified in his action, that resolutions of a similar character had for years been submitted to both the Republican and Democratic governors, and that the right of the executive to pass upon such measures had been generally recognised. The profes sional reform agitators were hardly prepared for this magnanimous action upon the part of the chief law officer of the Stone administration, who frankly said that he was entirely satisfied that the name of the commonwealth should be used in hearing a Judicial determi nation of the point at issue. The at torney general evidently had no doubt of the propriety and regularity of the governor's action, and did not hesitate to say no. SI STA1NED BY THE COURT. In due time the matter came before Judge Veis3 in the J)auphin county county court. The alleged reformers were represented by counsel and, of course, there was distinguished and expensive legal talent on hand to look after the voting machine interests. If one veto was not sustained of course the same decision would cover the other. Congressman Olmstead, of this district, and former Attorney General llensel, of Lancaster, appeared on be half of Secretary of the Commonwealth irlcsl. Th'-re was a spirited legal bat tle. The lawyers seeking the manda mus on the secretory of the common wealth, requiring him to advertise the proposed constitutional amendments, urgued that these resolutions did not I la til i 1 ton Clark, of t'liauncey, GH.,says he Niitl'vred with itcliinu; pile twenty years before trying DeWitt's Witch Ha zel Salve, two fxixes of which completely cured him.

They uc pletely overshadowed by the character and the force of the arguments on the other side. Messrs. Olmstead and Hensel filed the following objections to the petition on the rule for a mandamus: 1. The governor having disproved the resolutions proposing said amend ments to the constitution, as set forth In relator's petition, the same are without validity and are of no binding effect. 2. Neither house of the general as sembly having passed and adopted said resolutions, the governor's veto not withstanding, they are invalid and of no binding effect on respondent. 3. The governor of the common wealth has a right, according to the constitution thereof, to pass upon, to approve or disapprove all Joint resolu tions adopted by the legislature, ex cept such as provide for its adjourn ment. 4. The legislature having appropriat ed no money to pay the costs of the publication of said resolutions, the re spondent having, by careful Inquiry, ascertained, nor states as his belief that tho proper publication of said res olutions In the newspapers of the state as contemplated by law would tost not less than $40,000, and as b is without any funds to pay the same, or any part of the same, he has no right to contract such indebtedness without previous warrant of law, and no officer of the state Is authorized to pay said expenses, nor to draw any warrant for the payment of the same. 5. Even If there were any warrant of law for incurring the expenses of said publications, there is at present no funds nor money In the treasury of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, not otherwise appropriated, out of which said expenses could be paid." HALF A MILLION SAVED. Mr. Olmstead defended the gover nor's right to veto the amendments. "If, as to ordinary legislation, the framers of the constitution deemed It so important to safeguard It by re quiring executive approval or disap proval," he said, "how much more rea son would there be to guard against hasty or 111 advised legislation. There should be no exceptions to theemphatlc rule thus laid down that every vote re quiring the concurrence of both houses shall be presented to the governor for his approval or disapproval." "The second constitutional amend ment, which it Is complained the sec retary of the commonwealth has not published," he continued, "proposes to change this provision so that vot ing bv ballot will no longer be re quired, but the voting shall be done by a complicated system of machinery, the voter pushing the button and tho machine doing the rest. As a member of the congressional committee on privileges and elections I acquired some familiarity with this system of machine voting In the contested case of Ryan vs. Brewster, from the Rochesterdistrlct of New York. I learn ed enough in that contested case, how ever, as to the expense of these ma chines to know that it would cost the taxpayers of Pennsylvania at least $500,000 'to Instal that system through out this commonwealth. Furthermore, the act of congress with relation to the election of members of congress ex pressly provides that the voting for them shall be by written or printed ballot. No amendment to the consti tution of Pennsylvania could change that prevision in the act of congress. Voting by ballot must, therefore, still continue in the election of congress men. If the machine system should prevail as to other ofTices two systems of voting would be in force every two ye. fit the same general election. I hnid!. think the voters of this com monwtv'th are ready to entail upon themselves this duplicate and expen sive system ' f voting. It is perhaps as well that t'.i'? voters of this common wealth are t: ul the expense of pub lishing the iposed constitutional amendment r i ling upon them so cumbersome d expensive a system of machine v ..g, which amendment would, whon properly understood, most assuredly be voted down." Mr. Konsel supplemented these re marks v.l ili a forcible address. .U'l.GE WEISS' DECISION. Jurl :- Weiss, a'fter reviewing the arp:it.-.ent8 of both sides, handed down a cirefiilly prepared opinion, in which lie refused to grant the requested mandamuses and fully sustained the action of Governor Stone in his vetoes of the two resolutions. He held that "a proposed amendment to the con stitution must be presented to the gov ernor for his approval or disapproval." He quoted extensively from provisions of the constitution to sustain this po sition. "No satisfactory reason has been presented why thia viev; should not obtain," remarked Judge Weiss. "Nothing can be predicated upon the fact that the mode of procedure to amend that Instrument Is in a separate article. Tho method to bi.jg au amendment into being is by a resolu tion, to be agreed to by a majority of tho members elected to each house, and the same method Is prescribed in section 26, article 3, to repass an order, resolution or vote disapproved by the executive. In both Instances and cases the vote must be taken by yeas and nays and entered on the journals of the respective, houses. This construc tion tends to preserve the unity and continuity of theconstitution, and pro vides, in requiring executive action upon every resolution, that which Is certainly a praiseworthy feature an additional safeguard against hasty and possibly ill considered legislation and amendment." The court also held that the secre tary of the commonwealth ought not to be required to contract for advertis ing of proposed amendments, when no appropriation was made by the legis lature for this purpose. Judge Weiss, in support of this view, enumerated several cases, both under tho national and state governments where officials have been sustained In refusing to make contracts involving the expendi ture of money for which no appropria tion had been made. Thus was an heroic governor vin dicated, a few notoriety seeking re formers suppressed, and a bitter and revengeful insurgent newspaper syn dicate repudiated.

There Is a Free For All Contest For Su preme Judge, and Adams, of Philadel phia, For the Superior Court, has a Walkover. (Speclnl Correspondence.) Philadelphia, Aug. 8. Tho Republi can state convention, which meets at Hr.rr!skurg on the 2Uh lust., will hon or the surviving superior officer of the "Fighting Tenth" Pennsylvania volun teers. Lieutenant Colonel James Elder Barnett, of Washington county, by nominating him for state treasurer, unless he absolutely declines to run. There Is no doubt that were he alive Colonel Alexander L. Hawkins, who commanded the regiment, and whose death occurred on the transport re turning from the Philippines, would receive this nomination. The party leaders, from Colcacl Quay down, were prepared to support him for this position. Since the death of Colonel Hawkins, which Is generally deplored, a movement has l.ee.i str.rted to urge Lleutenat Colonel Darnett to allow the use of his name for t.hls office. Every body who Is Interested at all In Penn sylvania politics is commenting upon the manly way In which Colonel Bar nett has acted under existing circum stances. His prompt and emphatic re fusal to allow his name to be "on.Rid, ered In connection with the colonelcy of the "Fighting Tenth" as successor to the late Colonel Hawkins, prefer ring, as he says, that the command shall be mustered out as "Hawkins" regiment," and his unstinted praise of the services of his late commander and his devotion to his memory have been the subject of general comment. The political leaders have no Informa tion as to whether Barnett will con sent to allow the use of his name in connect' l with the state treasurer ship. Hi:: brief public statement on this subject, in responses to a news paper query, was that while appreciat ing tho compliment intended in the mention of his name, it is a matter which he could not pass upoa without due consideration. Barnett is known to be as level headed as he is brave. His brilliant work on the firing line In the Philippines with Filipino bullets whizzing ll round him whiie he gal lantly lead his battalion Into the thick of (he f i t -h l is but pait of the glorious history of the "Fighting Tenth." That bullet shattered testament which in the breast pocket of the brave Barnett halted an Insurgent shot and saved his life is one of the interesting relics brought home from Manila by the boys from the Keystone state. BARNETT BY ACCLAMATION. Unless an unqualified declination shall be received from Colonel Bar nett his name will be presented to the state convention, and his nomination by acclamation will certainly follow. With Barnett at tho head of the Re publican state ticket the coming cam paign will be an excesdingly Interest ing one. He Is well known in the Na tional Guard, with whica he has been connected for 15 years, having served successively In the various grades from private to his present rank. He is a member of the bar and a stalwart Re publican. He was deputy secretary of the commonwealth under General Reeder, and has a host of friends among the active Republicans through out the state. Another nomination that will be made by the comlnx state convention has also been virtually settled. Josiah R. Adams, of this city, will be named for the superior court. There Is an un doubted sentiment in favor of allowing the choice of the Philadelphia delega tion to be named for this honor. It is intimated lhat fevmer Governor Hast ings would, if he thoueht he had a chance to win out, lead a movement for Justice T!.?-bcr'3 renomlnatlon. The fact that he has invited his former sec retary of the commonwealth, David Martin, to be his guest at Bellefonte may have occasioned the circulation of a renc-f that Hastings seeks to en list Mart.fr 'u Influence In behalf of Beeber. Friends of Counsellor Adams say they have no fear of anything of the kind, as they have had assurances for some time that th delegation will be a unit l:i favor of his candidacy. QUAY NOT GROOMING BROWN. Persistent efforts have been made In the insurgent newspapers to create the Impression that Colonel Quay has es poused the cause of J. Hay Brown, of Lancaster, for the supreme court nom ination. This is not true. The mani fest purpose of the circulation of these reports is to array the friends of other candidates against Colonel Quay. 'WIhile Mr. Brown's candidacy has inherent strength through his standing among members of the bar, he has not devel oped any considerable political follow ing up to date. There has been an in timation, however, that friends of Judge W. D. Porter, of Allegheny, are beginning to suspect that the Magee influence ipcretly at work in favor of Mr. Brown, instead of being exerted In behalf of their home candidate, Judge Porter. This may lead to com plications which may be favorable to the nomination of former Attorney General Palmer of Luzerne, Judge Mor rison of McKean, Judge Archbald of Lackawanna or some of the other can didates. Senator Mitchell is still press ing the rlaims of Judge White of In diana, and former Judge Henderson of Crawford, who has been accorded the privilege of naming the delegates to the stato convention from his home county, will be backed by a delegation from the northwest under the leader ship of D.

Ingruiuui AulouiKtle Mechanism by Which Urn Coiil la Handled. There are many things about tho man agement of a largo hotel which tho patron takes for gmntod without Inquiry or in vestigation, lie can form no Idea of tho methods employed from what ho sees In tho office, tho corridors, the dining rooms and tho other jwirts of tho building to which ho has access, nnd thoro nro not many guests who wish to pry into tho secrets. For those who tke an interest In such matters tho arrangements for receiving and disposing the coal are not tho least in teresting. Tho Waldorf-Astoria uses HO tons of coal every 21 hours during tho winter months. This coal Is all delivered on tho Thirty-fourth street side of tho building, but ono rarely sees a coal cart in front of tho hotel. It is nil of tho icn and buckwheat sizes and is dumped from tho carts into an opening in tho ground In the middle of tho Astor court roadway. It falls into a hopper, which holds alxiut 10, 000 pounds, nnd from there it is carried on an endless chain provided with buckets to a vast coal bin, which has a capacity of 700 tons. Daylight never reaches tills bin, which, with its few blinking lights and great piles of coal, reaching nearly to tho vaulted roof, rooks liko a corner in a coal mine and little liko an annex to a palatial hotel. By an arrangement of levers tho coal may bo dumped from tho buckets at various points, so that with tho aid of a shoveler It may bo evenly distributed in tho bin. Tho boiler room Is situated lower down in the ground, and tho coal reaches tho flro boxes without Mng handled.. When tho bttilcr attendant needs coal for his fire, ho pulls a lever, which o)ens a trap, and through this half a ton of coal falls Into a feeder, which looks liko a monster funnel. When tho feeder has been filled, It Js push ed forward on an overhead track, and when it has reached tho proper point a trap in tho narrow end of tho funnel is drawn aside, and tho coal drops Into a trough in front of tho ilro box, whence it goes into tho lire. From tho tlmo It leaves tho coal wagon until it enters tho flro tho coal takes care of itself, and, with tho exception of tho straightening out in tho bin, which Is done by ono man during tho day nnd ono man at night, and tho distribution over tho llro surface by tho boiler attendant, tho HO tons of coal which nro used every day aro handled by machinery.

Ono day at tho close of tho campaign during which Tho Tribune had conducted continuous hostilities toward him ho was in Chicago and, meeting a Tribune man, Inquired how his old friend Medill was. Before ho know what was going on tho senator found that smart young man had inform ed Mr. Medill ho wanted to see him and that Mr. Medill had telephoned back that ho was at Tho Tribune otlico. "Of course," said tho senator, "I went up there, although I had no such Inten tion when the conversation started. As I went in Mr. Medill greeted mo very cor dially.
